Chapter 11 The First Business

After discussing the name of the mercenary group, everyone was really tired, especially Hu Xie, who had been fighting hard again and again, and his spirit had been in a state of high tension, and now that he was relaxed, he felt extremely tired. At that moment, Nangong Bai went upstairs and opened a few guest rooms, one single room per person, and everyone went to the room one after another to sleep.

When Bai Yan woke up, it was already the next morning, and when he came out of the guest room, he heard the bustling sound, the Hongchen Inn was still full of guests, Bai Xiaosheng was still on the second floor explaining to everyone the Huaman battle of Si Li, seeing Bai Yan, Bai Xiaosheng nodded, and Bai Yan nodded in return. Coming downstairs, Bai Yan went to Nangong Bai's private room, and when he lifted the door curtain, he found that Nangong Bai, Meteor Frost and Bai Lang were already there, and Bai Yan came in and sat down.

"Alas", Nangong Bai stroked his forehead with his hand, looking full of sadness, Bai Yan didn't know what to do, turned his head to look at the meteor frost, the girl of the Wing Clan smiled and shook her head, and then asked Bai Lang, who shrugged helplessly, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.

After a while, when Hu Xie and Lei Xiao arrived, Nangong Bai finally spoke, and it turned out to be a very realistic situation - there was no money. Usually Bai Yan Bai Lang and several princes and disciples are penniless, but Nangong Bai, who prides himself on being a cloth cloth, often spends a lot of money, everyone thinks that he is a rich and noble son, and he depends on him for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but now this son-in-law seems to have been suddenly hollowed out.

"Yesterday I opened six rooms and spent the last gold baht on me, and now that's all I have left." Saying that, Nangong Bai took out a silver quill and twenty copper plates and put them on the table, "How much money do you have?" ”

Everyone, take a look at me, in the end, only Lei Xiao took out a silver quill and put it on the table, or he helped the inn deliver a takeaway.

"Okay, since there is no money, let's start work, we are a mercenary group, so we won't starve to death!" Nangong Bai looked at everyone.

"But Nangong, if there is no client to come to us, we have nothing to do?!" Bai Lang expressed everyone's doubts.

"Well, as far as I know these days, many entrusted tasks are monopolized by an organization called the Mercenary Union, the client goes to the Mercenary Guild to issue tasks, and the Mercenary Group goes to the Mercenary Guild to take the task, and the Mercenary Guild earns commission fees from it." Nangong Bai said.

"Then let's go directly to the mercenary guild to take the task, won't it be over!" Lei Xiao said everyone's doubts, doesn't it seem that there is anything difficult.

Nangong Bai smiled, "You think it's only that simple, in order to ensure its credibility, only those large and powerful mercenary groups can take on tasks, and the mercenary groups that can take on tasks are also fixed, and each mercenary group occupies a certain share of tasks according to their own strength." A small mercenary group like ours, which has just been established, will not only not be able to go to the mercenary union to take on tasks, but will also be suppressed by those old mercenary groups. ”

"Aren't we going to starve, then?"

"Of course not, in addition to the mercenary union, there are still some private jobs that can be taken over, for example, Lei Xiao, you go to help Siniang deliver a takeaway, Bai Yan, you go to pick up the children of the old Wang family next door to and from school, and sister-in-law Li in the south of the city always suspects that his husband has an adulterous affair with Widow Liu in the east of the city, Hu Xie, you can go and help catch a rape, hey~ Where are you going, I haven't finished talking yet......"

Coming out of the private room, everyone planned to go to the city for a walk, Bai Lang took out his cloak and put it on, after all, there are still some people who have seen him, the former prince, Hu Xie had already let go of his braids last night, and let Meteor Frost comb the hair of a Zhongzhou person, and he couldn't see the appearance of the barbarians at all, so everyone went out with confidence.

"Get out of the way, Lord Protector will return to the city!"

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, the two horses galloped over, the pedestrians avoided one after another, and soon after the two horses passed, a military horse slowly entered the city, Bai Yan and the others hid among the pedestrians on the side of the road and turned their heads.

The Protector was sitting in a carriage, and everyone couldn't see it really, Ou Liang and Ouyang Po were guarding around the carriage, and everyone didn't dare to look anymore, until they entered the imperial city.

"I didn't expect them to come back very quickly, I thought these princes would have to fight among themselves for a few more days!" Lei Xiao obviously knew the ambitions of the princes.

"In the first war of Sili, all countries suffered heavy losses, and they should all understand that no one can afford to spend it." Bai Lang said.

Hu Xie clenched his fists in the direction of Ou Yin and his party, Bai Yan patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to restrain himself, and Hu Xie relaxed.

Lei Xiao walked in front, "Hey, look, isn't that Uncle Li who sells steamed buns?" ”

Everyone saw that it was Li Dalu, who was selling steamed buns, the steamed bun business was doing quite well, he was honest, and his reputation was very good.

"Ladies and gentlemen, didn't you say that the security fee will not be paid until the end of the month? It's only the third year of junior high school today! Uncle Li looked at the few strong men in front of him, with a sad face.

"Don't talk nonsense, you can pay when you say you want, do you want to set up a stall here!" A strong man at the head said viciously.

"Hey, third brother, I just opened today, and I don't have that much money?!"

Bai Yan smiled, these market gangsters must have seen Uncle Li's business being good, and deliberately came over to blackmail.

"Stop!"

The gangster called "Third Brother" was grabbing Uncle Li's collar and preparing to teach him a lesson, and was suddenly cut off, and was about to turn his head and scold, when a powerful spear smashed down on the head, the third brother is also a practitioner, and his reaction is not slow, but he only had time to deviate his head, and the head of the gun smashed heavily on his shoulder, and the third brother was beaten to the ground, and the blood flowed from his shoulder, and the third brother endured the pain without saying a word, and looked up to see that several of his entourage had already been beaten to the ground, and five young men and women walked over on the opposite side, The first one was holding a big gun, and he should have been attacked by him. It's just that the young man didn't look at him, and walked straight to Uncle Li, who was buying buns.

After staying in Tianyun City for a long time, the third brother still has some eyesight, although these people in front of him are not very gorgeous, but they are extraordinary, and they are not ordinary people at first glance, but almost all the gentlemen in Tianyun City know each other, and they have indeed never seen these people.

"Dare to ask where are you? Why this trip to the troubled waters? The third brother couldn't figure out the number of the other party's path, so he asked out loud.

A black-clothed young man on the other side walked up to the third brother and squatted down, and the third brother immediately felt a huge sense of oppression coming over, but the young man was not very strong, and even a little thin, where did this sense of oppression come from? The third brother looked up and immediately got the answer, yes, it was the young man's eyes, secluded, terrifying, killing intent, yes, not war intent, killing intent.

"We are from a mercenary group, someone paid for it, and we covered Uncle Li's business."

The young man's tone was very calm, and the young man's eyes kept staring at the third brother as he spoke, and the latter felt a chill. The third brother has also heard of several famous mercenary groups in Tianyun City, these mercenaries are not ordinary gangsters, they are all outlaws, they only recognize money and not people, they are ruthless, as long as someone pays money, even the court officials dare to kill.

"This little brother, oh no, this big brother, I have eyes and don't know Shouyang Mountain, I have offended you, since Lao Li, oh no Uncle Li is your friend, then it will be my Ah San's uncle in the future, please rest assured!"

Bai Yan was slightly surprised, this gangster Ah San is quite good at talking, and he is still neither humble nor arrogant at this time, "You go, our mission is complete, and we won't harm your life." ”

Ah San hurriedly got up from the ground, arched his hand at Bai Yan, and left with his subordinates in embarrassment.

"Uncle Li, are you okay?"

Uncle Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Oh Xiaolei, it's good that you're here, this Ah San usually does all kinds of evil, no, you can't help me in vain, I have to thank you!" So saying, he went to look for something.

"Oh, Uncle Li, you're so polite!" Lei Xiao said and turned around and winked at everyone, look, the first business has arrived.

Everyone didn't shirk either, doing good deeds without asking for anything in return was done by those heroes in the rivers and lakes, we are a mercenary group, and it is natural to save people and collect money.

However, when several people looked at Lei Xiao and turned around with two bags of xiaolongbao, their faces turned a little green.
